    For people that just wanna get to the the point, it’s 2tbsp (table spoons) for a regular cup of coffee

      While 2 tbsp is the correct measurement for 6 fl oz of water, I believe the issue people are having here is the title of video. Perhaps a better title would have been "How much ground coffee and water to add when making coffee in a drip brewer to limit any waste". Everyone has their favorite coffee mug, but if you know you are only going to drink 3 - 9 fl oz cups over the course of a few hours, you would want to know how much of the grounds to add to a total 27 fl oz. For some his explanation was too long, but he did throughly explain the challenges of different sized coffee mugs and the amount of grounds. Nice short videos are sometimes good, but I suspect he was making this video with the intent of going over the challenges involved and not just giving a simple answer. Use Google if you want a short and concise answer!

      YEAH IF YOU'RE A PUSSY. A REAL MAN WAKES UP 5 AM EVERY MORNING AND DRINKS ATLEAST 3 CUPS. STRAIGHT BLACK AND GETS THE DARK ROAST. WHICH IS EVEN STRONGER WITH THE HIGHEST CAFFEINE CONTENT WITH A PLAIN WHITE COFFEE MUG

      on average probably but i just used 1 tablespoon per cup and it was a bit on the hot strong side.....made my ass hair cover my bald spot lol
      What im looking for is a good ratio.....i use to have one that my parents used and it was perfect......unfortunately i forget it after using that damn kurig.

    I like how you explained the 4 times that cup and 4 times the heep. I know this might sound stupid, but I used to use a spoonful of coffee grinds for each cup. Then, I got new silverware. All of my spoons are bigger, now almost all my coffee pot's numbers are gone. So, I'm starting over, and having to use a regular measuring spoon. Also, I'm having family from out of town staying with me for a week, and I want to have coffee for them. Thank you.

    Thank you!! this makes way more sense!! i was cleaning the carafe before use as the instructions told me to and was trying to figure out how much water to put and it didn't make sense! it even says to use 12 cups and run the coffee maker before the 1st use and when i added the "12 cups" it only brewed 10! i made my first brew this am and it was a disaster.

    Awesome video! I've been trying to figure this out for a while now. I think that is a simple solution, just use the cup you'll usually be drinking from and do a scoop per cup. Then just take note of the reservoir where that lines up around the marks. Once you know about where that is based on how many cups you usually make, you can just eyeball it.

    A very handy tip from RUclips. Put the water through the machine once without the coffee grounds. Then pour the hot water back in the tank, then put it through again with the coffee grounds in place. You get better coffee.

    Hello Sr. thank you for the detailed explanation. You would get a little coffee trophy from me because you are exactly correct. For years I've done commercial coffee brewing in giant pots in hotel kitchens for example and when it comes to a basic home 4 cup of brewing coffee there's no real explanation. of course I figure it out also with the measuring cup and the particular cop that I would drink the coffee out of, but still a heaping 2 tbsp could be two and a half tablespoon or maybe 3 tbsp for a darker brew.
    It is kind of funny but I understand it boils down to the taste of the actual drinker... I do want to compliment you on your video and the way that you explain things clearly and I will give you my thumbs up And subscribe just for the fun of it. Congratulations !

    Thanks for your video-- I just want to say your coffee scoop doesnt look like it would hold 2tbsp. At first you said 2 tsp then changed it. So how much does it hold? I didnt get a scoop with my proctor silex but I have another scoop I can use that I know is 1 tbsp.

    • @ken8844
      @ken8844 7 лет назад

      He did say it 2 tablespoon. However since, he changing his measurement of amount of water he adds in, he added a little more. That was the change since he is adjusting his measurement bases on his cup or measuring cup.

  • @VMSelvaggio
    @VMSelvaggio 2 года назад +2

    Not to mention, here in America, many bags of pre-ground or whole bean coffee from the local market will read: "Use 1 Tablespoon of coffee for 6 fl. ounces of water." -- Now, you and I know that 8 ounces is a cup, so they are telling you that 1 Tablespoon is not even 1 Cup of Coffee, but rather 3/4.
    Feels a little strange.

    James Hoffman, the guru of coffee says it is all about taste and what you like. If you use the recommended amount on the bag, you are wasting coffee. I brew with a Breville Precision machine. In the morning I load 60 oz of water and eight level tablespoons of fresh ground coffee beans. At night I make two cups of coffee, and I use 5 tablespoons of ground beans. My drinking cup holds two measured cups of coffee or 16 oz's

    Downright silly explanation. The size of cup you use is irrelevant. What matters is the amount of coffee PER six ounces to be brewed. Two ounces of ground coffee for 6 ounces of water is the formula. Drink however much you can get into your cup and you'll get consistent coffee taste. If it isn't sufficiently strong, increase the amount of ground coffee for each 6 ounces of water. This is not rocket science and has NOTHING to do with the size of cup you prefer drinking from.

    Wow yeah I was WAYYY off. I knew something was up when I was filling up the coffee pot one fluid ounce at a time trying to follow the instructions on the side of my new fancy coffee bag to a Tee.
    Before, I was always told at work to just use the scoop 3 times and then fill it to twelve with water haha. Never knew what any of the numbers meant and always guessed it was fluid ounces.
    Haha no wonder my coffee was so light the first time I tried making it 🤭
    So since I use an 8 oz mug for coffee. I'm just going to fill up my mug with water for however many cups I'm trying to make. And then do a heaping scoop of coffee grinds per cup. Does that sound right fellow RUclips commentators??

  • @JMWexperience
    @JMWexperience 10 месяцев назад

    The best method is to use a ratio of grams of coffee to 1 liter of water. Invest in an accurate set of kitchen scales. 60 grams of coffee to 1 liter of water is a good starting point. For imperial units that ratio would be 2.1 ounces of coffee to 34 ounces of water. You can then decide if you want your coffee stronger or weaker. As a side note, a traditional “cup” of coffee is 5 ounces. That was set back in the 1970’s by Mr. Coffee and was eventually accepted by the majority of manufacturers of drip coffee makers.☕️

      bloom4mee i have the same coffeemaker and for a good cup of coffee i will use roughly 40 grams (give or take 2 depending on your taste) for 27 ounces (1.11.0 ounces) and that gives my spouse and I exactly 2 cups (1 each) of coffee in our 'round 10 ounce mugs. If we want 2 cups each we just double it.

      bloom4mee Now, i did watch another persons video where 60 grams of coffee for every 1 liter of water was recommended. Im going to try that in the morning and see how it goes.
      ***60 grams per liter gave me basically the same strength coffee i usually make i just ended up with 2.5 cups of coffee as opposed to my usual even 2. And tbh, who the heck wants a half cup of good coffee?
